Introduction
This reference guide documents the OpenManage Server Administrator Common Information Model (CIM) provider contained in
the Management Object File (MOF) dccim32.mof.
CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling
tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed
environment. For modeling a managed environment, CIM makes available a set of abstract and concrete classes of objects.
These classes model the basic characteristics of systems, networks, and applications, as well as groupings of management-
related data.
For more information about CIM, see the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) website at dmtf.org and the Microsoft
website at microsoft.com.
NOTE: This document includes sections or data that is not applicable to the PowerEdge MX740x and PowerEdge MX840c.

• Server Administrator
• Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties

Server Administrator
Server Administrator provides a suite of systems management information for keeping track of your networked systems. In
addition to providing systems management agents that are independent of the management console, Server Administrator
supports these systems management standards: CIM and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
In addition to supporting systems management industry standards, Server Administrator provides additional systems
management information about the specific components of your Dell EMC device.
Documenting CIM Classes and Their Properties
The Dell CIM provider extends support to Dell-specific software and hardware components. The Dell MOF defines the classes
for the Dell CIM provider. All of the supported classes and properties in the MOF are documented in this guide.
The following subsections define some of the basic building blocks of CIM classes that are used in describing the dccim32
provider name. These subsections also explain how the elements used in describing these classes are organized. This section
does not document the entire CIM schema, but only those classes and properties supported by the dccim32 provider. The list of
properties for each supported class varies greatly.
The property values being presented could be NULL or empty string on some systems, although in general, some non-empty
values can be expected. Key properties (listed below) always carry non-empty values. It is recommended that you use only the
following properties as key attributes:
● CIM_PhysicalElement: CreationClassName, Tag
● CIM_System: CreationClassName, Name
● CIM_LogicalDevice: SystemCreationClassName, SystemName, CreationClassName, DeviceID
● CIM_Dependency: Antecedent, Dependent
● CIM_SoftwareElement: Name, Version, SoftwareElementState, SoftwareElementID, TargetOperatingSystem
● CIM_SoftwareFeature: IdentifyingNumber, ProductName, Vendor, Version, Name
● CIM_IRQ: CSCreationClassName, CSName, CreationClassName, IRQNumber
● CIM_MemoryMappedIO: CSCreationClassName, CSName, CreationClassName, StartingAddress
● CIM_DMA: CSCreationClassName, CSName, CreationClassName, DMAChannel

6 Introduction
● CIM_RedundancyGroup: CreationClassName, Name
● DELL_EsmLog: RecordNumber
● DELL_PostLog: RecordNumber
● DELL_BIOSExtensions: systemBIOSCharacteristics
● DELL_BIOSSettings: DisplayName
● CIM_ServiceAccessPoint: SystemCreationClassName, SystemName, CreationClassName, Name
Base Classes
The classes listed in the Server Administrator CIM provider class hierarchy do not have a parent property. These base classes do
not derive from another class. The base classes are:
● CIM_ManagedSystemElement
● CIM_Dependency
● DELL_EsmLog
● DELL_PostLog
● DELL_CMApplication
● DELL_CMDevice
● DELL_CMDeviceApplications
● DELL_CMInventory
● DELL_CMOS
● DELL_CMProductInfo
The CIM_ManagedSystemElement class is the base class for the system element hierarchy from which all other CIM classes
are derived. As a result, CIM_ManagedSystemElement has no parent. Examples of managed system elements include
software components such as files, devices such as hard drives and controllers, and physical subcomponents of devices such as
chip sets and cards. For the CIM_ManagedSystemElement properties, see Caption, CreationClassName, Description, Name,
and Status in Common Properties of Classes
The Dell-defined classes are not defined in the official schema by the DMTF, the industry group that defines the standards for
CIM, and hence do not have parent classes. CIM_Dependency does not have a parent class because it is a relationship or
association between two managed system elements.
Parent Classes
Most classes in the dccim32 provider document both a Class Name and a Parent Class property. The parent class is the class
from which any given class inherits its core properties. For example, the CIM_Controller class has the
CIM_LogicalDevice class as its parent, and has various types of controllers (CIM_ParallelController,
CIM_SerialController) as its children.
Classes That Describe Relationships
Classes that derive from CIM_Dependency have CIM_Dependency as their parent class, but they are documented in terms
of antecedent and dependent elements in a relationship rather than in terms of common properties. Consider the following
relationship between two CIM_ManagedSystemElements:
Table 1. Classes That Describe Relationships
Element Description
Antecedent CIM_PackageCurrentSensor
Dependent CIM_PhysicalPackage
The CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class monitors an entire physical package, such as all the components contained in a
given system chassis. The CIM_PhysicalPackage class is dependent on the CIM_PackageCurrentSensor class for this
monitoring function.

Introduction
CIM_Physical Element
CIM_PhysicalElement is a CIM-defined class. The CIM_PhysicalElement class contains the subclasses shown in Figure
CIM_PhysicalElement Class Structure
Topics:
• CIM_PhysicalElement

• CIM_PhysicalFrame
• CIM_Chassis
• DELL_Chassis
• CIM_PhysicalComponent
• CIM_Chip
• CIM_PhysicalMemory
• CIM_PhysicalConnector
• CIM_Slot
CIM_PhysicalElement
Subclasses of the CIM_PhysicalElement class listed in Table below define any component of a system that has a distinct
physical identity. Physical elements are tangible managed system elements (usually actual hardware items) that have a physical
manifestation of some sort. By contrast, processes, files, and logical devices are not classified as physical elements. A managed
system element is not necessarily a discrete component. A single card (which is a type of physical element) can host more than
one logical device.
One card, for example, could implement both a modem and a local area network (LAN) adapter. In this case, the card would be
represented by a single physical element associated with multiple logical devices.
The following table lists the CIM Class Name, Parent Class and describes the CIM physical element properties along with the
data type.
Class Name: CIM_PhysicalElement
Parent Class: CIM_ManagedSystemElement
2
CIM_Physical Element 11
Table 3. CIM_PhysicalElement Properties
Property Description Data Type
CreationClassName See Common Properties of Classes
Manufacturer See Common Properties of Classes
Model The name by which the physical element
is generally known.
string
SerialNumber A manufacturer-allocated number used
to identify the physical element.
string
Tag Uniquely identifies the physical element
and serves as the element’s key. The
Tag property can contain information
such as asset tag or serial number data.
The key for a physical element is placed
very high in the object hierarchy in order
to identify the hardware/entity
independently, regardless of the physical
placement in or on cabinets, adapters,
and so on. For example, a hotswappable
or removable component can be taken
from its containing (scoping) package
and be temporarily unused. The object
still continues to exist and may even be
inserted into a different scoping
container. Therefore, the key for the
physical element is an arbitrary string
that is defined independently of any
placement or location-oriented
hierarchy.
string
CIM_PhysicalPackage
The CIM_PhysicalPackage class listed in Table below represents physical elements that contain or host other components.
Examples are a rack enclosure or an adapter card with multiple functions.
The following table lists the CIM_PhysicalPackage properties that represent the physical elements that contain or host other
components.
Class Name:CIM_PhysicalPackage
Parent Class: CIM_PhysicalElement

Removable A CIM_PhysicalPackage is removable if it
is designed to be taken in and out of the
physical container in which it is normally
found without impairing the function of
the overall package.
Boolean

CIM_Physical Element 19
CIM_PhysicalConnector
The CIM_PhysicalConnector class listed in Physical Connector Properties includes physical elements such as plugs, jacks,
or buses that connect physical elements. Any object that can be used to connect and transmit signals or power between two or
more physical elements is a member of this class. For example, slots and D-shell connectors are types of physical connectors.
See Connector Type Values for a list of valid connector type values.
The following table describes the properties and data type of the CIM PhysicalConnector class.

Property Description Data Type
ConnectorPinout A free-form string describing the pin
configuration and signal usage of a
physical connector.
string
ConnectorType An array of integers defining the type of
physical connector. An array is specified
to allow the description of
“combinations” of connector
information. For example, one array
entry could specify RS-232, another
DB-25, and a third entry could define the
connector as male. See Connector Type
Values for the values of the
ConnectorType property.
